Creating New SharePoint List

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi all,

Currently I am using the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action to automatically create the headers which I need in the list. The problem I am facing is that I have to manually unhide/show the headers/columns in Microsoft list itself for the headers to show up. Is there a way to program power automate to do this for me by default?

Thanks in advance.

You want to modify the All Items view, sounds like?

You'd have to use an HTTP Request for that as well, I think, pointed at the views.asmx web service.

Hi @Rhiassuring ,

Currently, I have to manually select the show/unhide option in Microsoft List itself. I plan to automate this by setting the default setting for my headers to be always showing and not hidden.

The final image is what I need to be set as default so that I do not have to repeat this manual step every time.

Yes. This is All Items view, on a SharePoint list, and you are looking to add columns to the All Items view. The method mentioned in my previous post will work for you.

If you look at the top right hand corner, you will see where it says "All Items". That is your list of views. This is what the HTTP will modify.

In SharePoint, there are columns, and there are views. Views are composed of columns. You can create many views. The default is called All Items. "Show / Hide" is for end users to quickly add / hide things while they look.

Hi @Rhiassuring ,

Sorry to trouble you but is it possible for you to provide me with an example of a filled-up HTTP request as I am not very proficient with power automate. I have read through your post, but I still do not understand which code I should add to my workflow.

Thanks in advance
